Dental Treatment Risks
for Osteoporosis Patients

After implant surgery, the success rate depends on how quickly the alveolar bone fuses with the implant. However, because osteoporosis patients have weaker alveolar bone tissue, surgical failure is more common.

Certain osteoporosis medications, such as bisphosphonates, can cause side effects after implant surgery. In particular, osteoporosis patients with weakened teeth and gums may develop jawbone necrosis.
